WoW Patch 3.3 Profession Updates

by Spiph

Patch 3.3 went live last week, and includes some minor profession updates, none of which have any effect on the profession leveling guides. The 3.3 release patch notes for professions are copied below. For full details about all the other changes included in patch 3.3 see WoW – Patch Notes.

Enchanting

Enchant Weapon – Black Magic – This enchantment now sometimes increases haste rating for the caster rather than inflicting the caster’s target with a damage-over-time effect. It is also now triggered by landing any harmful spell rather than inflicting damage with a spell.Enchant Weapon – Unholy – This enchantment now inflicts Shadow damage in addition to its original effect.

First Aid

The training costs for most bandages have been reduced.

Fishing

The all-new Kalu’ak Fishing Derby, a test of fishing skill with a healthy dash of luck, has come to Northrend! Every Saturday beginning at 2 PM players can try to catch the elusive Blacktip Shark. Elder Clearwater sits in Dalaran for one hour awaiting the return of the quickest, most experienced fisher to bring him this shark. This champion fisher will be rewarded in-kind for returning with the first catch. Those who aren’t able to return with the first catch will still receive just reward for getting the Blacktip Shark to Elder Clearwater before he takes his leave. It is said that these sharks’ favorite meal are the bite-sized Pygmy Suckerfish. Perhaps a hook in their waters will do the trick.

Mining

Enchanted Thorium – This ability now uses the Mining skill and is learned from trainers at a skill level of 250.
